Comedians and celebrities have joined the movement against social media account F**k Jerry, which has been criticized for stealing jokes from comics.

Colin Hanks, John Mulaney and Whitney Cummings are among the latest to speak to their social media followers and ask them to unfollow the company, which has grown over the years into marketing agency Jerry Media, with the hashtag #f***f***jerry.

'It's actually a marketing agency that can command thousands of dollars for a single IG post, Hanks captioned on his Instagram post. 'A company that has profited from stealing jokes and content from comedians and not giving proper credit.'

Speaking out: Hanks urged fans to rethink following the agency on Saturday

Hanks went on to call Jerry Media hustlers and con men, and said the company were also involved in the failed Fyre Festival, which was scheduled to take place April 28-30 and May 5-7, 2017 on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma. It ended up getting shut down after the inaugural weekend due to numerous problems.

'They ran the social media for that. They helped create content for that. They helped sell that. They profited from that,' Hanks declared. 'Not only did they profit from that debacle, they helped produce a documentary about it (the Netflix one) and profited off of that as well.'

The actor concluded with: 'So, to put it simply, unfollow @f***jerry. Unfollow anything to do with @f***jerry. F*** those guys.'

The push: John Mulaney also joined in to get people to unfollow Jerry Media (@f***jerry)

Down with the cause: Comedian Whitney Cummings also gave her support for #f***f***jerry

John Mulaney had similar sentiments on his Instagram account.

'It’s not the most pressing issue of the day, but yeah, unfollow this garbage account,' he began in the caption. 'They have stolen jokes from me and many other comedians and profit off it.'

Currently the @f***jerry account has 14.2 million followers.

Vulture comedy editor Megh Wright spearheaded the movement last week by asking people to stop giving money and attention to the F***Jerry brand, claiming the company regularly steals other peoples' work and posts it on its own page.

F***jerry started out as an Instagram account in 2011, but has since grown into the company known as Jerry Media.

On Saturday night, F**k Jerry founder Elliott Tebele admitted that he has 'made enemies over the years for using content and not giving proper credit and attribution to its creators' on the @f***jerry account.

He attributed the problem was due in part to a 'lack of well established norms for reposting and crediting content in the 'early days of F***Jerry.'

'In the past few years, I have made a concerted, proactive effort to properly credit creators for their work,' he claimed.

'We have also updated our policies to make sure we are responsive to creators whenever they have reached out to us about posts. It hasn’t been a perfect system, but I do feel it was a significant improvement, as many of my peers have approached these issues in the same way.'
